We were planning on submitting a full packet of medicals, police certificate etc all at once since the processing on CIC indicates faster approval based on this.
However when I spoke to two immigration lawyers they both stated not to do the medical or background until CIC requests it. This seems logically to take longer based on 8-12 for FBI letter and then possibly four months to get the medical clearance to Ottawa.
So should we do that all first? And what if you do the medical before the actual application, what do you send to the CIC as proof? Do they send what they saw to Ottawa before your application?
